There’s a new Swedish netlabel on the scene in Frukt Records and they have the debut recording from Fredrik Stahl titled Start Making Sense. Of course for your dime, as with any netlabel, you get the full album plus album artwork. In this case there are 5 songs described by the label as “emotional pop spiced with electronica.”
I like the lethargic pop of “Free Will Standing” which is a tale of a man stuck in neutral; unemployed, alone, selling albums on Ebay and generally totally and completely stuck. What’s cool is how the tempo of the song suits the lyrics, even with the slight lyrical and musical downturn at the end of the song. Download the digital ep here. You can buy the cd release here.
